What is the ratio for 100% Essential Oils?

I have a candle making book that recommends 1 tablespoon of essential oil per pound of soy wax. I have been using that ratio, but it does not produce a strong smelling candle. Some oils smell stronger than others.

All of our oils are pure which means no additives, bases, fillers, or synthetics... nothing added, nothing taken away." and "WE source our products from organic growers and distillers and all of our oils are from pesticide free plants."

The directions on the bottle suggest half or even whole. I use mine more as preventative, so I only use a small handful every time.

ALL Young Living oils are pure (neat). YOU add a carrier oil, either a vegetable or coconut oil) to any of the essential oils for your personal needs.

I use 10 mil essential oils bottle, the diffuser doesn't come with empty bottles. What I do is get the 1oz essential oils and create my own mixes, I used an empty 10mil bottle and works fine. I love the diffuser, I got it about a year ago, use it frequently and works fine! At this point I have several empty bottles and I created many different mixes, just love it!

I would say no. These (wonderful) oils are already in a carrier oil, and so are not just pure essential oils.

The ratio would be half of what the extract called for. Enjoy. My son loves this in smoothies.

I've been using mine with pure essential oils for an entire year, no problems. It works as well as my pricey diffuser though it doesn't have as many features and doesn't do as large an area.

A good dilution rule to remember is 1 drop of essential oil to 1 tsp of carrier oil for adults and 1 drop essential oil for 1 TBSP of carrier oil for children. Here is a post Plant Therapy did and it has a dilution chart you can look at: http://essentialoilblogging.com/2013/09/05/essential-oil-safety-101-dont-miss-this/

According to my bottle the oils in this blend are 100% pure essential oils; lemon, clove, eucalyptus, cinnamon, and rosemary. I have used this blend all winter and have only had one minor head cold to date.

When I used oil I only used a few drops. But I was using 100% lavender oil. So it got strong quick. So depending on the strength of the smell that you want and it also depends on what your making.

This is kinda complicated. You need these 4 "P's"; Plants, Preparation, Purity and Potency as the main determining factors. Oils need to meet all or a combination of these factors for their classification. Pure is just that pure without additives. The better the numbers of the 4 "P's" the higher the oil quality. This can be a complicated factor involving how plants are treated for harvesting. Essential oils have a high oil concentration but are cut with varying amounts of things like alcohol. Pure and uncut are not the same. Pure usually usually applies to plants, their soil, leaves, stems, flowers are not chemically treated to assist with oil removal. Pure oil plants are treated like royalty. Grown in top soil for its kind, chemicals not used and so on. In addition preparation is done to a standard. Sanitation, ultra filtration and such does not influence its purity rating. I'm not sure what the industry setting are. Uncut seems to mean that while the oil is pure the plant has had methods done to aid in oil removal. These can involve chemicals placed on leaves or other methods. NOW for the complication. The oil must meet a minimum of the 4 "P's" listed to qualify for it's kind to meet a therapeutic rating. Therapeutic oils may not need a high rating of those 4 "P's". Some oils can be therapeutic and be cut with multiple items (other oils, alcohols, scents etc). This factor is what effects product price. Now for the best answer, get the best oil you can for your intended use. I add a few drops of pure uncut citronella oil or lemon oil to a cotton ball then swab kennels, dog collar and bed for a safer flea repelling. I use the same technique with oils to treat sachets, pillows to aid in sleep or relaxation or what ever. I feel comfortable with less is best method. Others may not believe this works so an oil with extra added for volume is the answer. This stops waste or potential danger with over use. Hope this helps. I had looked this up to aid in my purchases of oils.

We recommend using Peppermint essential oil with a carrier oil at a 3-5% dilution rate, since it is so strong and may irritate the skin if applied neat. At a 3-5% dilution rate, you can add as much of one oil as you'd like (ex. 12 drops of Peppermint and 8 drops of Rosemary per 1 ounce of carrier oil). 3% dilution = 20 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier5% dilution = 30 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier

Yes, I would start at a 20/1 ratio, (water/oil), and work my way down from there until you reach the desired level of aroma.

No, all those 'grades' are all a marketing ploy by the production company. There is no standardizing body in the world that recognizes 'therapy grade' or 'food grade' as actual standards for essential oils. 100% pure is 100%.
